Whilst there has been some improvement in our defence, the largest part is down to Westwood. I think he has saved us at least a dozen goals that Kirkland wouldn't have saved. Without that we would be bottom six now & talk of an improved defence wouldn't be on the agenda.
The other factor is that we have kept a settled back five for the first time in years. Look at what has happened in the last two matches with Loovens suspended & Palmer left out - three goals all come through RB position & we didn't deal with the cross.
The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.
